Tension in the neck and shoulders has to be one of the most common client complaints that we all see in clinic. Your clients may be returning to you complaining of localised pain in their shoulders or referral pain causing headaches and pain behind their eyes. Posturally they will most likely present with rounded shoulders.

Trigger point therapy can be exceptionally effective at relieving localised and referral pain caused by trigger points pressing on nerves. Here we look at techniques for unlocking trigger points in the neck and shoulders using trigger point massage.
